[she finds herself wandering idly after Caiman's execution, drifting from location to location, a little. . . lost for what she should do next. somehow, her footsteps guide her towards the memorials. and unsurprisingly. . .? there's someone else here before her]
[she pauses as she stares at his back, tail flicking behind her. but after a moment. . .!]
Hey. Mandricardo.

Hey. Mandricardo.
[there's a pause as her gaze flickers towards the memorial, ears drooping a bit, but not laying flat against her head]
[. . .]
. . . I don't know. Maybe.
[truthfully, she doesn't know why she's here. but perhaps, subconsciously, that's what she wanted to do. . .?]

[she shuffles up next to him, one hand on her hip]
Did you help build these?
[she shuffles up next to him, one hand on her hip]
Did you help build these?
You think so?
[she certainly had no hand in it, so]
How can you tell?

[aaaah. . .]
She is the one who talked about murdering people in one's sleep.
[so. you know?? that's not surprising??]

[WHAT'S. . . JAPANESE???]
I guess it doesn't really matter.
[. . .]
. . . we don't really do things like this for those who die back home.

No time to mourn when it's war.
[besides, having FEELINGS in the Horde makes one WEAK]

[man, she's a bit surprised she's been finding people here who know what it's like. surprised, but not. . . displeased]
. . .
What kind of war were you fighting?
. . .
What kind of war were you fighting?
[haha. . . that sounds familiar. . .]
. . . yeah. Me too.
[she says casually, like it's nbd]
I was part of the invading army. Something something, wanting to take over the entire universe, something.
You know how it goes.
[DON'T SOUND SO NONCHALANT ABOUT THAT CATRA]

[It's sometime much later after the meme wedding. Here is Mandricardo, who is already giving off waves of guilt, nervousness, and sadness when he approaches Catra.]
[He sees her, stiffens for a moment, before giving a low bow, keeping himself low without straightening himself up.]
First of all...I want to say...I'm really, really sorry.

[oh]
[she blinks at him, a little? confused??? he can feel that!!]
. . . huh?
[she blinks at him, a little? confused??? he can feel that!!]
. . . huh?
[He ignores the confusion, and straightens, before digging into his pocket and pulling out a piece of paper.]
Um. I wrote an apology.
"Catra, you are someone I really appreciate. I know you tease me all the time but you have a kindness behind that. I never meant to hurt you with what I did today. Please forgive me. I believe that you and Adora do a lot of good with each other and I never meant to deride that or make fun of you.
Please forgive this antisocial guy. If you want to like, throw me into the lazy river or something as a punishment. That would be fine".
[And there we go.]

You don't have to take everything so seriously. Relax. I'm over it.
